I am a delivery driver/person for a small local bakery. I run all my deliveries early in the morning and am home by 7a.m. The owners are terrible about doing maintenance and upkeep of the delivery vehicle as well as making sure it has fuel and money for the toll. I have asked several times for them to have the delivery vehicle maintained and it hasn't been done since they bought the vehicle in May and I drive 200 miles a day 6 days a week. They also don't maintain the racks that hold the product or keep the vehicle clean, I do my part making sure I clean up after myself and even wash the windshield when they force me to put fuel in it before leaving on deliveries because they were too lazy. Well today one of the accounts ordered 600 droughts! The racks broke and I had a massive effort to save what of them I could and managed to save all but 12. However, in the process of the save effort I strained something in my belly. I told the daughter of the owner as the owner isn't in at 7 a.m. I called my doctor and was told to take it easy and watch for spotting (I'm 14+5 today) I have not had any spotting thank god but my belly still hurts fairly good. What really irks me though is No-one has checked on me! Not the owner, not the manager, not the owners daughter. I'm really upset, do I have a right to be? Thanks for reading. :-)

I would be upset, but not surprised. These people haven’t shown any interest in your concerns previously, so I wouldn’t expect them to start any time soon. I hope everything turns out ok with the baby.

Awful people, i can relate because my boss made a comment yesterday that my baby is costing me lots of money, i had to take few days off because i had cvs procedure done today and i feel like a i was run over by the track afterwards.

Try to rest couple of days and dont lift anything heavier, hope pain will be gone and you will feel better. Just from now on dont care about the damage of delivery because its not worth it to put yourself at risk and strain something.

Reading about that you work for bakery you just reminded me how i was thinking about buying doughnuts on my way home and im not someone who eats them. What are your cravings? Probably nothing sweat since you around them all the time.

You are working super hard and it suxs when people don’t appreciate that. Screw them from now on and put yourself always first. Sometimes when i stretched my body i felt pain in abdominal area, its hard to remember we need to be more careful because we used doing things without limitations.

I have not been having a great deal of cravings. I didn't have any during my other two pregnancies. But I have wanted Panera Cheddar Broccoli soup, in a bread bowl a couple of times already. Oh yeah, I decided that no matter how guilty it makes me if I'm still hurting I will not be making deliveries that day. It's not worth it to potentially harm myself or the baby more.
